Guide for Laravel for REST API only

[Noitidart]

Hi there,

I want to use Laravel for REST API only. I also use react-router so routing is taken care of. However I do need server side rendering, and especially setting the page title server side IF the user has loaded that page with a deep link.

Is it possible to use react-laravel just for REST API and server side rendering (for initial ReactDOM.render and page title)? Is there a guide for such a thing? (i also use redux)

(server side page title and meta description is important for sharing on social media like facebook, and server side rendering for web crawlers not supporting js)
